Unrest continues at Veniaminof. Seismic activity remains elevated. The FAA Perryville web camera showed frequent pulsatory low altitude ash plumes throughout the day yesterday and continuing this morning. A pilot report from this morning indicated a volcanic cloud from Veniaminof at an altitude less than10,000 ft asl and a small amount of ash deposited on the ice field. Small thermal features consistent with a hot vent area were observed in satellite data from the past day.

Veniaminof Volcano is monitored with a local real-time seismic network, which will typically allow AVO to detect changes in unrest that may lead to an explosive eruption. Rapid detection of an ash-producing eruption would be accomplished using a combination of seismic, infrasound, lightning, and satellite data.

Low-level unrest continues at Great Sitkin Volcano. No significant activity was observed over the past day in seismic data or in partly cloudy satellite images.

Low-level unrest continues at Cleveland Volcano. Weakly elevated surface temperatures were observed in one high resolution satellite image acquired over the past day. Partial views of the volcano in the webcam show no activity. No significant activity was detected in seismic or pressure sensor (infrasound) data over the past day.

Cleveland volcano is monitored by only two seismic stations, which restricts AVO's ability to detect precursory unrest that may lead to an explosive eruption. Rapid detection of an ash-producing eruption may be possible using a combination of seismic, infrasound, lightning, and satellite data.
